RICH IN REWARD.
WHAT THE SHREWD MAN OF MONEY
SEES TO ATTRACT HIM TO
KENTUCKY.
Recent Mineral Discoveries In the Noun
tsins--Every-Day Evidences OF
Growing Prosperity.
[Courier-Journal.1

"The extent TO which the long-delayed
knowledge of the marvellous natural
riches of Kentucky has been disseminat-
ed in the past year is almost beyond
belief" said gentleman yesterday who
was just back from trip in Southeast
ern Kentucky. "The woods up there are
just full of prospectors and SPECTATORS.
Some of the counties are filled with
strangers, who are looking at the vast
timber supplies and coal deposits with
establishment. In one county alone
there were counted sixty-odd strangers
buying lands and mineral and timber
rights. Millions of acres of land, that
could have been purchased two years ago
at fifty and even twenty-five cents per
acre, are now selling readily at from So
to SIS per acre. Ihave travelled all over
the country, and / believe Kentucky is
about entering upon course of prosper
ity and development that will land her
far ahead of any Western State in riches
and population. The building of the
railroads now under contract in the State
will simply open an Eldorado to capital
lists. There is more iron ore and coal in
Kentucky than in any other three States.
Why, up in Pine mountain saw vein
of fine iron ore which exposed for forty
feet. II may be thicker than that, but
as it stands il lays the Alabama deposits
in the shade, and surpasses the widest
dream Of the iron men. Within stones
throw, practically, is the most marvellous
and pure field Of coking coal in the
world"
"What is doing to develop these re-
sources? % asked the Courier-Journal.
"Well, the railroads are building there
fast. That is the first necessity. I saw
friend the other day who was Just
back from the North and East, and he
told me that Kentucky was in the eye of
the practical
INVESTORS AND DEVELOPERS
more than any other State. In Chicago
this is particularly so. The practical
men there who own great industries are
studying Kentucky like boys study the
catechism, and they have the ear of enOr-
nous capital abroad which is almost
certain to be invested in Kentucky.
These great capitalists want plenty Of
land, with raw material under it, and
then they will get it out. Kentucky is
just now the best advertised State in the
Union, and there ia but one drawback to
it. Whenever there is little killing up
in mountain county the fact is sensa-
tionally reported, and it applies to all
the counties. This has rebufed a great
amount of capital, because the possessors
were timid. Every Kentuckian knows
that life and property are safer in the
mountain counties than they are in New
York city; but so much picturesque
nonsense has been written about noun.
tain feuds that it has had bad effect.
] am pretty sure that Kentucky will
have more foreign capital invested in it
within a few months than any other
State i'm the Union

Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off of revenue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has
largely benefited the consumers, as well
as relieving the burden of home manu-.
facturers. Especially is this the case
with Green'sAugust Flower and Boschee's
German Syrup, as the reduction of thir-
ty-six cents per dozen, has been added to
increase the size of the bottles containing
these remedies, thereby giving one-fiftb
more medicine in the rs cents size. The
August Flower for Dyspepsia and Liver
Complaint and the German Syrup for
Cough and Lung troubles, have perhaps,
the largest sale Of any medicines in the
world. The advantage of increased size
of the bottles will be greatly appreciated
by the sick and afflicted, in every town
and village in civilized countries. Sam
pie bottles for ten cents remain the same
size.

Recently several companies have been
formed in Louisville for the purpose Of
making investments in the mountain
districts of Eastern Kentucky. For
long time there was great deal Of talk
about the richness of this region, and
the extent of its mineral deposits. Peo-
pie talked, but they allowed the coal and
iron to remain ia the ground. Some
active men went TO work and formed
the companies, which have already made
extensive purchases In the mountains.
Some of them will build towns and have
them laid out Ia lots and squares. 9th
ers are for mining purposes, and the in.
vestments have been made where coal
and iron have been found, or there are
prospects of them. The new railroads
In progress of construction In this region

have been made along their routes.

SUCKERS WILL BITE.
Two Perry County smarties Invest For q
Soft Snap, and Get Squeezed.


A London, KY, special to the Courier
Journal, dated Sept. 10Th, says: An old
swindling dodge, long since familiar to
suckers in more advanced localities, has
Just penetrated the wilds of Perry and
Leslie counties. Ten days ago Basil
Cornett, of Perry county, came to this
place and registered at the Lovelace hotel,
and after several days quietly lettering
around town, he, with the most confiden-
tial air, informed certain persons that he
was waiting for his partner, who had
gone to New York on business, and in
the meantime he telegraphed or wrote
to bank in Stamford, where he had a
deposit, requesting that they send him
$500 in cash. Last Saturday hispartner,
J. N. Baker, of Leslie county, arrived,
and, after the two had conferred togeth-
er, they proceeded to the Adams Express
Office and received a package shipped
from Albany, n Y, to the address of
Baker, on which were $500 charges,
which amount they paid the agent.
Shortly after this little business trans
action Cornett took friend aside and
whispered in his ear that they had been
beaten, whereupon he unbosomed himself

Such 10 Fame.

A game of base ball was played at
Hazel Green, Wolfe county, by the home
nine and nine from Salyeryille, Magof-
fin county. At the end Of the eighth in
ming the score stood 60 to "a in favor of the
Hazel Green sluggers, aud they were
declared the winners. At the end of the
third inning the game looked liked a
"sinch" for the Salyerville team, but in
the fourth inning the Hazel Green hitters
found the ball and knocked out twenty
runs. In the sixth inning they piled up
thirteen additional runs, and the game
was practically over. A feature OF the
game was the hard hitting done by Dean
Gardner, Of Salyerville. He broke all
the bats on the ground, and the game
was suspended until new bats could be
procured. A tremendous crowd witness
cd the contest. No account was kept Of
the errors.--Courier-Journal.

OUR DIAMOND FIELDS.
Scientific Men and Prospectors Confident
That Precious Gems Will Yot BE
Found In Elliott County.

That Precious Gems Will Yct BE
Found In Elliott County.
WILLARD, KY, Sept. 2S.--If the fields
of Elliott county do not turn out to be
diamond fields some day, a good many
scientific men, as well as prospectors, will
be badly disappointed. In May, 1885,
when the rock of these fields was studied,
the character of the diamond bearing
rock in South Africa was not fully un.
dersto0d; consequently no search was
made for diamonds, nor was any mention
made in the official reports of any such
possibility. Later on, however, an ink
ling of the vast truth was disclosed, and
last month Maj. J. w. Powell, Director
of the United States Geological Survey,
sent Geo. +. KunZ and j. s. Dieler, two
experts, to make thorough investiga
ton. After a short but thoroughly busy
stay Mr.. Kunz and Mr.. Dieler returned
to New York to prepare their report,
which is said to be very favorable.
Mr.. Xunz is well known in the East
as an authority on gems and precious
stones. Colleges send to him for his de-
cision in regard to questions that arise
in their classes and concerning their col
lections. He is also known as q man
whose ideas are above all considerations
save those that his profession, as a pro-
fession, will bring him. Mr.. Kunz is
also Tiffany X Co.'s expert. He is con.
tinually gathering valuable and unusual
collections for their benefit or his own.
